What did you do to your FJR today?

[RadioHowie]

Ya know, I've just about done with all this bitchin' over the 82mph cruise control limit...

So, there are 3 or 4 roads out of 4,000,000 miles of highways in the U.S. that allow 80+ mph travel, and you nancy-waists continue to carp and moan about the cruise limit. Whadda bunch of vejayjays you have devolved into.

I'd LOVE to come home to this every night,

but frankly, I'd rather come home and

'cause I'm married to this

but you don't hear me CONSTANTLY complaining about it...

well...yes you do...but...fuk it!

Quit yer nanny-bitchin' about the frakin' cruise control! It is what it is already. Don't like it? Don't buy it! Feckin' cryin' pissants!!

Got the starter out and other than built up shit from the brushes everything was within wear specs. Bench tested it and it showed a 20 amp draw. My spare that hasn't been done shows 45-50 amp draw. Valve check and a CCT are next. Then every drop of fluid gets changed.

 

[RadioHowie]

Ray, you goin' with the upgrade OEM or manual CCT?

I haven't decided. I have both.

Guess what I vote for?!

(that is, if it's up for a vote :lol: )

Did the throttle body sync on the Gen II. I had always thought it didn't run as smooth as it should, now I know why. The screws were within a quarter turn of all the way in, #3 was close to tight. Vacuum was at 30Hg/Cm initially on #3, others from 31 to 27. After I was done, all were at 24. The idle speed was a fuzz below 1000 when I started as well. Brought that to the 1100. Now I can say the Gen II is as smooth as the Gen III - at least the throttles feel that way. There won't be any riding happening on iced roads :< for a few more months. I have to say getting the little rubber booties off wasn't a treat - yeah, I did take the clips off first - is there a trick?

My trick is to throw those little f*%$ing clips as far as you can. You don't need them.
